COURT OF PROBATE. (Before the Judge; Ordinary.) ROBINSON AND BARWICK V. WINN. In this case the plaintiffs propounded the will of Mary Winn, which was disputed by her brother, John Winn, on the ground of incapacity. It appeared that the testatrix, who lived at Murfield, Yorkshire, became possessed, by the will of her father, of a leasehold house, and a joint interest in twelve other houses with the defendant. She died the 21st of last June, and by the in strument in question she left her interest in the 12 houses to her brother during his lifetime, and to be divided amongst her seven cousins at his decease. She also gave the plaintiff Robinson a life interest in the leasehold house, which at his death was to go to the aforesaid cousins, and she further gave Robinson and his wife the whole of her furniture. The plaintiffs were ap • pointed executors of the will by the testatrix, who died a few days after. The case was fully proved, and the learned judge pro nounced for the will, and refused the defendant her costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—Robert King, a tall, shabbily attired man, wearing a large beard and moustache, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing two silk pocket handkerchiefs and a victorine, the property of Mr. Charles Macey, linendraper, of 27, Great Titchfield-street. Samuel Edmonds, assistant to Mr. Macey, said—Between twelve and one o'clock yesterday afternoon the prisoner came to my employer's shop and selected goods to the amount of $26, at the same time handing me a cheque for £26, drawn by Joseph Kent cn Messrs Raw and Co., Fur nival's-inn, and requesting that the goods might be sent to No. 89, Albany-street, Regent's-park. Directly after the prisoner left two silk handkerchiefs and a victorine were missed—they having been seen safe by me a few minutes before the prisoner left the shop. I then sent one of our young men to follow the prisoner to see where he resided, and he followed the prisoner to the Model Lodging-house in Charles- street, Drury-lane, and then came back and in-- formed me where he had traced the prisoner to. I then went with the young man and a constable from Bow-street to the Model Lodging-house, and there found the prisoner asleep on a bench. The constable searched the place, but could not find the articles, and then woke the prisoner. The constable said he came about two handkerchiefs and a victorine, and the landlady said she had seen the articles offered for sale in the room. The prisoner was then taken to George-street, and charged. Prisoner—Did you serve me with the goods ? Witness—l did. Prisoner—Will you swear that I did not say I would take the handkerchiefs and victorine with me ? Witness—l will. Charles Woodfall, 27 F—At 6 o'clock yesterday I accom panied the last witnees to the Model Lodging-house in Charles-street, Drury-lane. I there saw the prisoner ap parently asleep. I woke him up, and asked him if he had ordered any goods that day, and he said he had not, but afterwards said he had. On taking him in charge, he said he knew nothing about the articles. I then took him to the station, and at 10 o'clock last night the articles were brought to me by a man. named Rees. David Rees, lodging at the Model Lodging-house, said— Yesterday the prisoner gave me the articles produced to pledge for ss. I tried to do so, but could not. I returned with them, and finding the prisoner was in custody, I took the articles to the constable (the last witness). The witness Edmonds identified the property as that of Mr. Macey. Prisoner—lt is true I took the articles, but I was in dis tress. I have been only two months liberated from a lunatic asylum. Mr. Knox—The defence of insanity is now being com monly set up, but insanity is not a defence for such a charge as the present, and I shall therefore send you for trial, where you can set up that defence if you think proper. The prisoner was then committed for trial. Mr. Henry Jenkins, licensed victualler, of Upper Bel. grave place, was fined 108 or seven days for disorderly con duct at the King's Arms, Shepherd's-market. The defendant went to the house of Mr. Jackson, the King's Arms, Shepherd's-market, and made use of very disgraceful language to his niece, whe is living barmaid with Mr. Jackson, and at last his conduct became so dis orderly that he was taken into custody. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22, 1861. THAMES. ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.—John Donnelly, a mariner, and Johanna Newman, a woman of tho town, were brought be fore Mr. Partridge, tho former charged with violently assaulting William Mallard, a plater's labourer, the other with breaking windows. The complainant's features were frightfully mutilated, and his clothes were covered with blood. He stated that he occupied a house in Sun-street, Poplar. The female had been a lodger there nine months. She was the wife of a seamen, who was now on a foreign voyage. The male prisoner had been in the practice of visiting the woman. About a month ago he gave the woman notice to leave his house in consequence of her general disreputable .con duct. A short time afterwards Donnelly met him in a public house and abused him and asked him if he had given Johanna Newman notice to quit. He said he had done so. The prisoner said before I go to sea again I will leave a mark on you that you will never get rid of. Last night he was seated in his chair by the fireside when both prisoners rushed into his room. Donnelly struck him a heavy blow with his fist and knocked him out of his chair. Before he could rise the prisoner knocked him violently about the head, face, and body—as many as 7or 8 kicks were inflicted upon him and two of his teeth were knocked out. He lost a good deal of blood, and had been in great pain all night. The prisoner Newman broke five panes of glass while this was plug on, and he believed instigated Donnelly to commit the outrage upon him. He became insensible from blows and kicks, and was carried out of his dwelling to the 'station-Muse, and attended by a surgeon. Police-constable Gray, No. 265 K, stated that he found the prosecutor bleeding in his room, and took the pri soners into custody. Newman, a strapping Irishwoman, said she was a pros titute, and that Mallard kept a bad house, and beat her and robbed her. Her husband Was at sea, and as he had not left his half-pay for her she was obliged to go on the town. Mr. Partridge committed Donnelly for trial, and fined the woman 2s. for breaking five panes of glass, in addition to 2s. 6d. the value of the glass, and in default seven days' imprisonment. WESTMINSTER. A VERY INGENUOUS DEFENCE.—TAE TRUMPETER AT CREMORNE.—James Jabey, an elderly man, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a cloak from a shop door. Mrs, M'Mahon, of 7, Little Chapel-street, Westminster, said that there was a cloak hanging just inside her door for sale yesterday. At about half-past four the prisoner lifted it down from the nail on which it was hung, and took it next door for sale. She was told that her cloak was stolen and where she should find it ; and she accordingly followed into a shop, where she found the prisoner, and, shaking him, she inquired how he dare steal her cloak 1' He said he knew nothing about it, but that did not satisfy her, as she found it before him on the counter. She then gave him into custody. Prisoner—l did not take it, Mr. Selfe—The woman says she found you in the shop with her cloak. Prisoner—l can perfectly account for that. I saw a boy steal the poor woman's cloak, and I followed him into this shop, where he went to sell it, in order to secure it and get back the cloak. Mr. Selfs—ls the shopkeeper here ? Mrs. Bull stood forward and said that prisoner came into her aunt's shop and offered the cloak for sale, but she re fused to buy it after some conversation with him, and he went two or three doors off with it. Mr. Selfe—Did he follow any boy into the shop with it ? Witness—No, Ile brought it in himself. There was no boy there at all. Prisoner—Oh, ahe had been drinking, your worship, and does not know what occurred. Witness—Dear me. Oh, your worship, I'm a teetotaller. I have been so these five years. Mr. Self° —That may be, but you know sometimes— Witness—Oh, never, I assure you. Mr. Selle—ls prisoner known? Dennis, the gaoler—He was the trumpeter at the Cre morne Tournament. A policeman said that when he took the prisoner last night he found he was intoxicated. Prisoner having elected that the magistrate should dis pose of the case, he was committed for six weeks to the House of Correction. MESSRS. BRIGHT AND bCUOLEFIELD._It is now announced that these gentlemen Will address their consti tuents at Birmingham on Ttytday next, THE TOWNLEY CASE. The following has been despatched from the Home Department, in reply to the second letter addressed by the Derbyshire magistrates to Sir George Grey, respecting the case of George Victor Townley : "T. W. Evans, Esq.,M.P., and W. Mundy, Esq.,M.P. " Whitehall, Jan. 20, 1864. " Gentlemen,—l am directed by Secretary Sir G. Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 15th inst., which he received on the 18th inst. " While the magistrates in whose names that let ter was written entirely agree that it was impos sible for the Secretary of State to refuse the inquiry recommended by the judge into Townley's state of mind, they appear to think that the inquiry could have been conducted in the same manner as an in quiry in the case of a commission of lunacy directed by the Lord Caancellor where the sanity of a per son possessed of property is in question. They ask, ' W by should an inquiry involving the momentous issue of life or death, and which thereby affects the reasonable sense of justice in the masses of the p eople, be eonducted in a less satisfactory manner than an inquiry touching property only ?' The answer to this question is, that in the one case the Legislature has prescribed the manner of inquiry, and has provided the means of its being publicly conducted, the evidence being taken on oath before a judge and a legal commissioner specially appointed to preside over it, or one of the judges, if the Chan cellor shall so direct. In the other case no such provision has been made. it was not, therefore, in the power of the Secretary of State to direct such an inquiry, nor is it in his power to direct a public inquiry, with evidence on oath, into the state of mind of any person. The inquiry which he did institute, in order to obtain the information which was requisite to solve the doubt suggested by the judge and to guide him in the discharge of his duty, was necessarily of the same nature as those which have on previous occasions taken place in cases in which, notwithstanding the conviction of a person of a capital offence, doubts have been sug gested as to whether, owing to his state of mind, the sentence of the law should be carried into effect. " As the actual order of removal to Bethlehem Hospital was founded on the certificate of Dec. 29, signed by two county magistrates, the validity of which you do not impugn, it is scarcely necessary to advert to your statement as to the alleged inva lidity of the first certificate. I am, however, to inform you that the Secretary of State is advised that its being signed on a Sunday did not render it invalid, as it was not a judicial act within the mean ing of the rule stated by the magistrates ; and that, although it was signed only by one county justice, the other two magistrates being justices for the borough only, the terms of the statute are not free from doubt as to whether the borough justices had or not authority to sign it. " You inform Sir George Grey that, in the opinion of the magistrates, Dr. Goode and his coadjutors, meaning thereby, it is presumed, the justices who signed the certificate, did not intend to sign a document which would be obligatory on the Secre tary of State, and they submitted that the 'certifi cate being expressed in terms directly opposed to the publicly declared intention of those who signed it, ought not to have an effect contrary to such in tention.' No statement which could support this opinion has ever been received by Sir George Grey from any one of the magistrates or medical men by whom eithe r o f th e ce rtificates were signed, and until he read thi s passage in your letter it never occurred to him as possible that, in signing the cer tificates, and forwarding them to the Secretary of State, the persons certifying were not fully aware of the nature and effect of their certificate, or that they did not intend that it should be dealt with by the Secretary of State in conformity with the statute, with the provisions of which they had care fully complied. After the doubt, however, which you have suggested on this point, Sir G. Grey has thought it right to call on the magistrates for an explanation of the course which they took upon this occasion, and for any observations they may have to make as to this part of your letter, and also as t) the assertion tb.at Townley's removal to Bethlehem was effected by the agency of his soli citor and by the expenditure of money. He has also desired the governor of the gaol to inform him by whose authority he admitted to visit and examine the prisoner the two medical men who signed the certificates and the two borough justices who signed the first certificate,assuming you to be correct in saying that they had no authority to act in the county gaol, though situated within the borough. " With regard to the entries in the surgeon's journal of the 25th August and 6th October, which the visiting justices for the first time brought under the notice of the Secretary of State in their letter of the Bth inst., Sir George Grey can only repeat the expression of his regret that, considering the importance now attached by the visiting justices to these entries, they wholly overlooked them for so many months, and did not discover them and send copies of them to the Secretary of State till it was too late to render them of any practical use. "Yon say that the report made by the Lunacy Commissioners on the 28th December seems to the magistrates not to support the certificate of the two justices and two medical men. Sir George Grey has already informed you that he was not called upon to act upon that report alone. Had he been so, although the commisioners say that for the reasons set forth in their report they could not con sider Townley to be of sound mind, Sir George Grey yet would not have felt justified from the general tenour of the report in assuming that his unsoundneis of mind was such as to exempt him from the penal consequences of an act for which, accord ing the learned judge, he wa to the law laidslegallyresponsdihowlenby responsible. i3ut whatever was the purport and character of that report, it could not affect the validity of the certificate. In one point of the Lunacy Com onifisysiieownerosn not of sound mind material. It gave this additional weight to the cer tificate, that it precluded the Secretary of State from supposing what he Wo uld in any case have been only that was Townleyheopinion o was reluctant to do, except on the clearest proof, that four magistrates and two medical men had, with out any probable grounds, and with the wilful and deliberate intention of obstructing the course of justice, signed a certificate of Townley's insanity. Had any magistrate thus wantonly and corruptly abused the power with it is unnecessary to swahyicthhahtisheoffiwcoeulidn vheasyteedprhoivmed, himself wholly unfit necessary receiv e consideration, b to be continued in the co mmis sion of the peace, and would have rendered hi mself liable to a criminal information.

COLONIAL MONEY•ORDER-OFFICE.—On the Ist of February, and thenceforward, money-orders will be issued by all money-order offices in the United Kingdom on the colony of Trinidad, at the same rates of charge and under the same regulations as those already in force with respect to other colonies with which money -order business is transacted, namely, Port of Spain, Trinidad. Money orders will also be issued by this office on all money-order offices in the United Kingdom. THE UTILIZATION OF SEAWEED.—The supply of seaweed on our shores is practically inexhaustible, being estimated at 21,000,000 tons per annum ; while the present consumption, both for kelp and for green manuring, does not reach 1,000,000 tons. The wrack cast up on our shores during the winter season is the largest in quantity and the most valuable in quality, and it is now proposed to save and di y this artificially by a contrivance for burning wet fuel, and by which the seaweed itself is made to contribute towards the heat required for drying large quantities, at a cheap rate, at all 80&130128 of the year, The Waterloo Road Murder, The following painfully interesting letter, in re ference to the murderer Samuel Wright, has ap peared in the Week,lg Register, from the pen of the Rev. Dr. Husenbeth, the Catholic clergyman whose name has already been referred to in reference to this matter : Sir,—As so many erroneous statements have appeared in the papers respecting the unhappy murderer, Samuel Wright, and as my name, misspelt as usual, has been intro duced into the accounts of the poor criminal's behaviour previous to his execution, it will, I think, prove acceptable to your readers to have a correct account of the man, and to see these various inaccuracies rectified, Samuel Wright was not born at Ccssey, as represented, but came here with his parents from Norwich, about seventeen years ago, He was then about fourteen years of age. His mother eoon after became a Catholic, and he and his younger brother Michael came under my spiri tual care. After a due course of instruction, both were admitted together to their first Communion in 1848. In the year following, they both were cotfirmed here by Bishop Wareing. Samuel continued regularly to approach to the Sacraments, and to attend to every duty of the Catholic religion, while he remained at Coesey. He was married by me here to a Catholic yuung woman, nine years ago ; and soon after this they left Cossey to reside at Lowes toft. Afterwards they lived in Norwich till his wife died two years and a half ago, leaving him with two little chil • dren, both girls. The elder of these ie just five years of age, and is here with her grandmother, the mother of Samuel's late wife. The younger is just three Sears of age, and is in London with Samuel's aged parents. This I mention, because in several accounts it has been stated that both his children were in London. I have also been thus particular in mentioning Samuel's regular compliance with all the duties of a Catholic, because the unhappy man dented, and persisted in denying, that he ever had been a Catholic. He left Norwich and removed to London soon after the death of his wife. Up to that time he had continued in the profession of the Catholic religion. Both his children were born in Norwich, and baptised by a priest there. His subsequent career is unknown to me, but I never heard of his actually changing his religion, nor do I think that he ever did. He evidently fell into vicious habits and evil company, and lost the precious treasure of Faith, and, probably, all sense of religion. After the commission of his last dreadful crime he knew what would be required of him, as a Catholic, before he could make his peace with God, and, most probably, had not the courage to go through it, after the wicked course of life in which he must have been for some time involved. So, on his first committal at Newgate, he declared himself a Protestant, and on his removal to Horsemonger-lane Gaol he persisted in the same. If he had chosen to turn Protestant, he was free to do so, and abide by the awful consequences of renouncing his Catholic faith. But the worst, and to me the most unaccountable, part of his conduct was, that he denied ever having been a Catho lic. He admitted that he had been a few times in a Catholic chapel, and was married in one, but persist ed in declaring that he never was a Catholic. Thus this un happy man, to his other dreadful sins, has added wilful lying and apos tacy ; and with these upon his soul, has passed into eternity I It may be judged how painful his sad history was to me, who had known him innocent and happy, regular and edi•• tying, and had had him for several years under my spiritual care. I thought it probable that a few lines from his former pastor might produce a favourable effect upon this unhappy man ; and accordingly I wrote to him on the 3d of January. This letter has been alluded to in several papers, but its contents have been wrongly represented. In the Daily Telegraph, it was stated that my letter " fervently entreated him to abjure the doctrines of the Protestant Church ;" but I never said a word about the Protestant Church. I had heard indeed of his denying his faith ; but in my letter, I did not make the least allu sion to that denial. I wrote as if I supposed him still to be, as I had always known him, a Catholic. I reminded him of the happy days of his youth and innocence, and ex pressed my hope that all the religious instructions which he had received here would revive in his mind in his sad con dition, and move him without delay to repent and make his peace with God. I assured him that his crimes, great as they were, were not too great to be forgiven by. God's infi nite mercy, provided that he sought forgiveness in the pro per manner; and that for this purpose I exhorted him to lose no time in seeing the Very Rev. Provost Doyle, who was a great friend of mine, and to place himself entirely under his care, who would guide him safely after all to save his poor soul. He was certainly well pleased with my "kind and welcome letter," as he himself called it; and his brother Michael begged of him to read it over and over again, and do what it exhorted him to do ; but unhappily it produced no further effect. He chose to be attended by the Protes tant chaplain. Two letters have appeared in the papers, which he wrote before his execution. One was written on Sunday, the 10th, and the original is now lying before me. It was ad dressed to his mother• in-law, the mother of his late wife, with whom, as already mentioned, is his elder little girl Fanny. The Telegraph gave this and another latter written the next day to his own poor mother, as if both had been addressed to her; but the first was to his mother-in-law, living here at Cossey. In the first letter he mentions hav ing received " a kind and welcome letter" from me, but makes no further observation upon it. Deeply as I have felt for him, as his former friend and pastor, and anxious as I was to do anything to rescue him front an ignominous death, I must own that I could see nothing whatever in his case to extenuate his crime, or call for the extraordinary feeling manifested in his favour. I am persuaded that if Townley's case had not happened just before, little or no notice would have been taken of poor Wright, or sympathy shown for him. Though I grieve acutely for the shocking crimes and untimely end of one for whom I always felt great regard and pastoral affection, I consider his fate as but too likely to follow from the course of his life in the latter part of it. He began, as too many do, by neglecting his religious duties; by degrees he became hardened and indifferent about them, and got entanglt d in vicious habits and evil company. The precious gift of faith was withdrawn from him, and at last his un controlled passions led him to that dreadful crime which cries to heaven for vengeance. Though few go thus to the extremity of crime, his fate should be a warning to all of the dreadful danger of neglecting the sacred duties of religion. F. C. HUSENBETII, D.D. Cossey, Jan. 16th, 1864. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. A very moderate supply of home-grown wheat was re ceived at our market to-day, and several samples same to hand in poor condition. The demand for all qualities was in a sluggish state, at Monday's fall in the currency. With foreign wheat, the market was fairly supplied. The inquiry for all descriptions was, however, much restricted, yet no quotable change took place in prices, compared with Monday. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, on former terms. The supply of barley on sale was tolerably large. Good and fine malting qualities were firm in price; otherwise, the trade ruled heavy, at late rates. Most kinds of malt sold slowly, at late currencies. _ The supply of oats on sale was moderately extensive. Generally speaking, tho trade was quiet, but at full prices, for good and fine corn. . _ For beans and peas there was a moderate inquiry, and the quotations were steadily supported. The trade for flour was in a sluggish state. at about stationary prices. Tho market Was well supplied with English and foreign descriptions. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt Oats. Flout.

When a hundred gentlemen meet to discuss a question of taste, there will be at least a hundred conflicting opinions to consider and harmonise; so that a conciliatory spirit—a disposition to find out the common ground of agreement—will be neces sary on all sides if any visible action is to ensue. In the Shakspere Committee, this moderation of spirit is absolutely indispensable to success. An act of festive and reverential homage is one of the few things which cannot be performed by a majority. Yoa can make a railway, or vote a bill, by a show of hands. But reverence for the great dead is an act of sentiment and sympathy, only to be performed in the midst of peace, harmony, and good-will. Take away any of these pleasant cmditions, and the whole beauty of the common design is gone. One angry word will disturb a feast,—one explosive cry de stroy an act of w)rship. It peace and good-will cannot be secured in the congregation, nothing that is worth doing can be done. Are we incapable of so much moderation of spirit ? The Shakspere Committee consists of more than four hundred distinguished persons, drawn from the most opposite sides of the social circle—arch bishops and actors, judges and journalists, dis senting ministers and country gentlemen—a com mittee the very existence of which offers a great example of toleration, and to some persons appears to present an extraordinary suffrage in favour of dramatic poetry and the dramatic art. Such a body , of gentlemen must be expected to have very diffe rent opinions as to what would constitute the most appropriate monument to the noblest of all poets. In such a body—where every man is a leader, a speaker, or a writer, with a claim to be heard—a conflict of ideas was inevitable from the moment that the site and monument came under discussion. [here are perhaps as many projects as there are members of the committee. As to the most appro priate site, voices contend for Temple Gardens, Primrose Hill, 'Westminster, Kensington Gardens, and Stratford-on-Avon. And for each of these sites a great deal may be said, which the several partisans, and the newspapers at their command, are saying with great effect, and with a perfect want of unani mity. 'the same thing happens with regard to every possible form of monument. A theatre, a library, a statue, an obelisk, a column, a Gothic cross, a Tudor chapel, an avenue, an alms-house, and a cathedral, have been suggested. An edition of Shakspere's works finds many friends. One pro posal is to create a fund to be employed in the annual performance of a number of Shakspere's plays, at one or other of the London theatres, on the plan of the Moliere representations at the Theatre Francais. These suggestions are, doubtless, made with a sincere desire to see the poet commemorated in the most appropriate and beneficial manner. The conflicts which arise from these differences of opinion are quite legitimate, for they exist in the very nature of things. It is right to state our ideas — to ask that they shall have fair consideration ; and when they have been stated, and have had fair con sideration, it is graceful to yield them in favour of plans which command a larger measure of support. We hope and believe that such a course will be generally adopted by members of the Shakspere Committee; but we regret to see that some very warm and sincere advocates of a Theatre, on finding that their plans could not be carried in the com mittee, have withdrawn their names—a fact which seems to imply that they consider the form of monument to be of greater importance than all the other circumstances of the celebration put together. Surely this is an erroneous view to take. Are there no bases on which all may agree ? In the midst of all the discords of debate there seem to stand out some few central ideas, around which all, or nearly all, might gather. We are all in favour of obtaining a large and generous suffrage for Shakspere's art. We are all in favour of observing Saturday, April 23, as a general holiday. We are all, or nearly all, in favour of celebrating the birthday by the performances of Shaksperian drama and Shaksperian music. We are all, or nearly all, in favour of promoting local celebrations throughout the country, to be commemorated in various cities by the foundation of scholarships, the creation of libraries, or the erection of statues. The site and character of the monument might very well be left to time and the special committees which have been appointed to consider them. With regard to the question of the Executive, we presume that the gentlemen who constitute it, sixty-three in number—keep office only so long as they retain the confidence of the committee which gave them power. Since some of our contemporaries state that the names of the Executive are not known to the public, we may as well give the list :—The Archbishops of Canterbury, York, and Dublin; the Dukes of Devonshire and Manchester ; the Earls Granville, Clarendon, and Carlisle; Lord Brougham, Sir Frederick Pollock, Sir Roundel' Palmer, the Right Hon. William Cowper, the Lord Mayors of London and Dublin, and the Lord Provost of Edin burgh ; the Presidents of the Royal Society, Society of Antiquaries, Royal Academy of Arts, Royal In stitute of British Architects, the Architectural Museum, Society of British Artists ; the R.A. Pro fessor of Sculpture, the Master of Trinity, Sir E. B. Lytton, Sir R. C. Kirby, Sir C. Nicholson, Sir R. G. Macdonald, and Messrs. H. N. Barnet, G. L. Banks, H. G. Bohn, Rev. J. M. Bellew, Bayle Ber nard, Ernest do Bunsen, J. Stirling Coyne, W. F. Cosens, Charles Dickens, W. 13. Dixon, J. Durham, S. H. Foley, Ernest Garbart, George Godwin, J. 0. Halliewell, F. Haines, J. C. Jeaffreson, S. Knight, S. Levy, Samuel C. Lucas, E. H. Lawrence, W. C. Macready, W. Marston, D. Maclise, H. Ottley, An tonio Panizzi, C. Reed, S.F. Robertson, D. Roberts, C. Stanfield, W. Tite, M.P., Alfred Tennyson, F. G. Tomlins, and T. Wright. Like every other body of gentlemen, these may bt considered as ready to give way at any moment to a majority. It their ideas are not acceptable to the general body, let those who represent the more popular opinion come in and achieve the work. We cannot doubt that a new Executive would receive from the present mem bers every assistance in their power, including a conciliatory construction of all their acts.

WASHINGTON IRVING'S DEATH.—On November the 28th, 1859, on retiring for the night, at half past ten, his niece Sarah, who always took charge of his medicines, went into his room to place them as usual, within easy reach. " Well," he exclaimed," " I must arrange my pillows, for another weary night 1" and then, as if half to himself, " If this could only end I" or " When will this end I" she could not tell which; for, at the in stant, he gave a slight exclamation, as if of pain, pressing his hand on his left side, repeated the exclamation and the pressure, caught at the footboard of the bed, and fell back ward to the floor. The sound of his fall and the screams of Sarah brought the whole family in an instant to his room. I raised his head in my arms. Every means wa s resorted to to recall animation, and continued until a phy sician—Dr. Carruthers, from a distance of two miles-- arrived, who pronounced life entirely extinct. H e h ad passed away instantaneously. The end for which he had just been sighing—the end which to him had no terror had come. His departure was sudden; but so he was willing it should be. In the fulness of years, with un clouded intellect, crowned with the warmest affections of his countrymen, and with au assured hope of a happy immortality, he had gone down, according to his own pathetic aspiration, " with all sail set."

The half-yearly meeting of the Alliance Bank of London and Liverpool took place this day, Mr. J. N. Daniel in tho chair. The report, which was unanimously adopted, stated the accounts showed an available balance for the half-year ending the 31st December last, of £26,689 158. 5d., which with the addition of £243 16s. 11d., brought forward from the previous half-year, made a total of £46,933 12s. 4d. The directors proposed to apply £16,000 in paying a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum, for the h.A.lf-year, free of income tax, which gives 15s. per share on the original 20,000 shares, and 2s. per share on the new shares issued in July last, and after placing £2,000 to the reserve fund there will remain £8,933 12s. 4d. to be carried forward to the next account. The directors had to report that the whole of ;he new capital of £1,000,000, in 10,000 shares resolved in July last, to be issued at a premium of £5 per share, had been subscribed for, and was proposed that the £50,000 received for the pre miums be tranferred to the reserve fund. The CHAIRMAN stated that, as would be seen by the large balance carried over to the next account, the directors could have increased the dividend, but they considered it prudent to build up a reserve fund before allowing the share holders to participate fully in the profits. The remunera tion of the directors was fixed at £4,000 a year, and that of the auditors at £5O each. According to a notice, it was re solved to change the name of the company, calling it in future "The Alliance Bank Limited," and omitting the words "of London and Liverpool." The dividend warranty were made payable on and after the 28th inst. Private Bills in the House of ComMouS, THIS DAY.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE . TATTERSALL'S-LAST EVENING. Although it had been expected that the publication of the weights for the Chester Cup would have excited the same amount of interest and spirit of speculation as usual, the coldness and apathy which prevailed to-day when the great spring handicap was introduced, even as a subject of con. versation, were in singular contrast to the tone of the room on like occasions on former years. The merits of the haw. dieap were freely discussed, and although some considered it a very fair specimen of Mr. Topham's abilities as a han dicapper, there were others again who believed that some animals were ridiculously well in. Still, the latter did not seem inclined to bock their opinions in a more practical form, and the consequence was that Mt r giving thei r _ friends the full benefit of their 4, candid opinions,' the}- l e f t the room without striking a blow in favour of thoso theyi considered so very leniently dealt with.
